Issues on webshop sample

Regarding the webshop…

I know it’s a sample, but if it’s on the website and delivered with the application then I think it should work well. But there are loads and loads of issues, probabely due to the fact that the project is old but again, it should work right.

  1. on the sc website choose products and the any pensil then:

Error while accessing the database:
no such column: prod_active

  1. This column is there in the database if you load the sample yourself. However the field 'measure’is on the screen but not on the fieldlist. The prod_active is not on the form. If you move it to the form and save it comes in the fieldlist and … there’s the hidden measure. This one appears now too.

  2. The products screen requests for a category and a subcategory. These are now edit fields. Not very logical. But if you set them to type select then an edit button appears. Clicking on the edit link will show the screen to maintain categories or subcategories. But… the screen is a small modal form and the application does not fit. Then I go to the field select description to change it’s modal size and… there’s no link.

  3. If I create a link on the select fields then the new modal formsize is not met. It keeps the old dimensions. I think that the old link was hidden for some reason, but I cannot get access to it. So it’s not possible to delete it.

  4. I think that there should be an ajax change request on the first select box. But it can be easlily added.

Next function: products in offer.

  1. I get an errormessage
    Error while accessing the database:
    no such column: picture

Looked a bit further: there are modules which are not in the menu and never refered to (grid-products-dependent and form) and typos (orderitens in stead of orderitems)

There are more issues and this is only the second function. I thought I could use this template as a basis for one of my developments. But finding so many issues on only the first two functions I think I need to design it from scratch. At least this is not a good advertizement of the capabilities of scriptcase.

Give it a try … kick it to dev/null! I know what you mean, but to me is my time too good for such things …

Well, in fact I did use it, but there were amazing issues. But building it all from scratch would have cost me by far more time. Removed the unused tables, functions and fixed the missing links. In a couple of hours it was all fixed.
